["Mitchell A. Pravatiner" Subject: hubba I just got an e-mail from someone regarding a new music site called Hubba. I haven't read about it being mentioned here...could have missed it, though. It's supposed to be similar to mp3.com. I haven't had much of a chance to check it out, but it's at http://www.hubba.com/?beta=3y if anyone else wants to give it a glance. Thanks!

Most of the songs were about broken hearts and being dumped (usual JILL style) but there was one song on there was awfully cute, though it might fall into the "rainbows and lollipops" category if it wasn't so funny. It was a short little ditty called LUCKY IN LOVE with lines like "if some day I cross the street and run into a bus, I know that I'll go down grinning because...i'm lucky in love..." Heh. AMY RIGBY also has a great song about love called KEEP IT TO YOURSELF. You can download an mp3 of it on her site www.amyrigby.com it quite hilarious, though it might have more impact live. LISA GERMANO does a great song called IF I THINK OF LOVE in her typical creepy but beautiful way. And THE SOFTIES do a cover of RICK ASTLEY's TOGETHER FOREVER which is quite charming. Kinda hard to find, because it was on a limited run CD put out by a very small label. AUDIOGALAXY might have it (by the way thanks to whoever posted that link about the macsattelite for AG...) irvin ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 02:51:18 EST From: RocketsTail@aol.com Subject: Re: Shannon McNally - Jukebox Sparrows I LOVE Shannon Mcnally and have been waiting for this cd for over a year (when I saw her on The Girls Room Tour with three other fantastic women)...it's an amazing cd, she has a great sound. -eric ------------------------------ Date: Fri, 15 Feb 2002 10:08:10 EST From: NeverForever22@aol.com Subject: Re: V-Day songs >Can anyone think of others where the love is about the good things in the >relationship and the songs isn't "Sunshine Lollipops and rainbows"? No Doubt has a really cute love song that's cheerful, almost to the point of sappiness. But practically no one has heard it because it's on the album before Tragic Kingdom :-) That's my 2 cents... Hope everyone had a happy Valentines Day!

Pravatiner" Subject: Day late, dollar short, but anyway... Having just read the digest with a bumper crop of posts WRT songs about good relationships that are not schmaltzy or whatever, and having posted yesterday on songs of unsuccessful relationships, let me now do the equal time thing. My favorite in this department is "Power of Two" by Indigo Girls, on _Swamp Ophelia_. Almost, but not quite, tied for first place is the standard "My One and Only Love." My favorite rendition is the one by Sting on the _Leaving Las Vegas_ soundtrack. Rickie Lee Jones also covers it, albeit not as well, on one album or another (I think _Pop Pop_, but I'm not sure).
